DODGE Complaints

As described in the 05-001-22 bulletin, my brakes are making a clicking noise when reversing or turning at low speeds. A bulletin has been issued for every year except 2023 (my car’s year) for the same issue.

Car will crank but not start. Can cannot be started intermittently which could be dangerous considering location of vehicle, adverse weather conditions, etc. There are no warning lamps or messages related to the problem. This is a known problem with other Chrysler models and model years. TIMP fuel pump relay has failed. Bypassing the fuel pump relay will allow car to start. See attached file of Vertical Vissions' bypass solutions to this problem.

The passenger headrest deployed when traveling down the road without being in a collision. The passenger has hit in the back on head with headrest going down the road. I took the vehicle to my closest dealership and they advise me to call stellantis customer care and report it. I has informed that the X87 warranty extension recently expired. I was told it would have to be an out of pocket expense even though it is a safety risk.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal sound was heard coming from under the engine. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the diagnosis was unavailable. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed as needing a front drive shaft replacement. The vehicle was previously repaired for the front passenger side bearing, and the other unknown repairs were made; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

Vehicle was traveling northbound when green light turned red. Steady press of the brakes revealed the brake pedal had no travel. Pumped and held brake pedal to try to stop. Pedal gave way after vehicle entered the intersection causing collision with another motor vehicle. No warning lights or issues indicating the brakes may fail. The previous years of vehicle appear to have a recall specifically for hard brake pedal, but not the 2015.

The contact owns a 2019 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the 4-Wheel Drive and traction control warning lights were flashing and had become permanently illuminated. The contact stated that the electronic stability control was inoperable. The contact stated that while her husband was driving and approaching a red traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle slowly responded, became difficult to control, and was swerving across the road. Additionally, the contact stated that while reversing, the steering wheel was shuddering uncontrollably, and the vehicle was undrivable. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer six to seven times, and the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be bought back. The contact stated that unknown repairs were completed, but the failure persisted. The contact was awaiting the remedy of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V838000(Service Brakes, Hydraulic) to become available. The vehicle was not repaired. The State Attorney General was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The manufacturer was contacted, but the call disconnected.

While driving, transmission went out without warning. Prior, it was driving fine. While on the highway the vehicle lost power from the accelerator and the check engine light illuminated. When pressing the accelerator, RPMs would go all the way up and the car would not accelerate at all. It was checked out shortly after by a mechanic. They ran a scan for the check engine light, which reported several codes being thrown for failed transmission components.

SEAT HEADREST EXPLODED RANDOMLY. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR CAUSE FOR THIS. IT JUST DEPLOYED OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AT THE TIME.
